3. Turn on Water Supply: Fully open the water tap to allow water to flow to the pressure washer.
4. Purge Air: Before connecting to power, squeeze the trigger on the spray gun to allow water to flow through the system and purge any air. Continue until a steady stream of water emerges from the nozzle.

4.3 Power Connection

1. Plug In: Once the water supply is connected and air is purged, plug the power cord into a suitable grounded electrical outlet.

5. Operating Instructions

The VONROC V14-1 features an automatic start/stop system, meaning the motor only runs when the spray gun trigger is pressed.

5.1 Starting the Pressure Washer

1. Ensure the water supply is fully open and the unit is plugged in.
2. Turn the ON/OFF switch on the pressure washer to the 'ON' position.
3. Squeeze the trigger on the spray gun. The motor will start, and water will be discharged at high pressure.

5.2 Using Nozzles

• Adjustable Nozzle: This nozzle allows you to vary the spray pattern from a concentrated jet to a wide fan spray by twisting the nozzle head. Use a narrow jet for stubborn dirt and a wider fan for general cleaning or rinsing.
• Turbo/Dirt Blaster Nozzle: This nozzle creates a rotating jet of water, providing a powerful cleaning action for heavily soiled surfaces like concrete or stone. It is not recommended for delicate surfaces.
